I have not had any issues with the Intel Drivers and Gnome Shell however i had issues with the AMD card on another computer, this leads me to think that you're seeing this because of the AMD card.

My experience with crashes says if it is not broken dont try to fix it. Drivers from repos work fine for me but I have read many who have broke their installation due to third party drivers. So unless current drivers don't work for you don't try it.
